The sculpture was a gift of the Rosenblum's in 1984. While in their collection, it was painted black. On campus, it was originally installed within a brick walled courtyard in front of the Haggerty museum. With advice from the artist, it was relocated to its current site and repainted. IAS files contain clipping from Marquette Tribune, Oct. 10, 1988 and design plans for sculpture's foundation.
